1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 2: Man. Welcome back to Coast to Coast George Nori with 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: you Elaine Starling with US international speaker ted ex presenter podcaster. 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: She combines proven business strategies with personal development and spiritual 5 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 2: insights in order to help others realize their dreams. Elaine, 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Welcome to the program. 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 3: Hey George, I am so happy to join you. 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to this and great book, by the way, 9 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: Five Steps to Activate Your Abundance. 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 3: Thank you. I had such a blast writing that book. 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 3: It really just poured out of me, and I hope 12 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 3: that you heard my voice in every page. I do. 13 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: Now, and when we talk about abundance, there are different 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: kinds of abundance. One is personal for wealth and well being. 15 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: There's another spiritual type of abundance. What do you talk 16 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: about primarily? 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 3: You know, I talk about all of it because I 18 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 3: really want people to be able to unlock their own 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 3: personal power so they experience abundance in every single area 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: of their life. That's everything from wealth, opportunities, relationships, and 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: personal fulfillment. I cover the entire thing. 22 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: We're going to go through these five steps as well. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: But you call yourself the abundance ambassador. How come you know? 24 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 3: I love the idea that an ambassador introduces you to 25 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: new cultures and customs, and I'm really helping people embrace 26 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: the mindset and habits that lead to an extraordinary and 27 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 3: abundant life so they fall in love with their own life. 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: Did you always feel this way, Elaine? 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: No? 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: I didn't, you know? It was really interesting. I was 31 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: blessed on Year's Day two thousand and five to have 32 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 3: a stroke, and I always be blessed because during my stroke, 33 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: I had an incredible conversation with God and I just 34 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 3: was blown away because I got this incredible download about 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: how everything works, why we're alive, how we can live 36 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: our best life, and what happens next after this life. 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: And honestly, George, don't worry about it. It's a graduation, 38 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 3: it's not an ending. But at the end of this conversation, 39 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: I was told to share what I'd learned, and that's 40 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: what I've been doing ever since. But it's been quite 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: a journey for me because every time I would ask 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: a question, the answer would immediately come into my body. 43 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 3: Past present, future colors we can't see sounds we can't hear. 44 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: It was kind of like swallowing Google holes. All the 45 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: lights that shares, the videos, the keywords, do everything, and 46 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: I had to synthesize and summarize and make it actionable 47 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 3: for everybody. And that's really what I did with my book. 48 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: Let's go back to the stroke, if it's not too 49 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: painful for you, Elaine. Though New Year's Eve, you said. 50 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: New Year's Day and I was on vacation in New Zealand. 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 3: It was interesting because I was wandering around. I'd had 52 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: breakfast and some of the shops were open, were poking 53 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: in and out of the shop, and all of a sudden, 54 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: I got tunnel vision with little sparkles around the outside. 55 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: And then my right arm went numb and the right 56 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: side of my face went numb. So my husband immediately 57 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: walked me to a little medical center and they gave 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: me an ask for and they asked me to describe 59 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: the poster on the wall. And I knew exactly what 60 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: they said. I knew exactly what was in the poster, 61 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: but the words that came out of my mouth made 62 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: no sense. 63 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: Now. 64 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: I felt great, I felt awesome. It was like a 65 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 3: lazy Saturday morning where I just wanted to roll over 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: and hit the sleep alarm, and so finally I asked 67 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: if it was okay for me to just relax, and 68 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: they said, sure, go ahead. So as soon as I did, 69 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: I found myself inside this massive cloud and I was 70 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: part of it and it was part of me. And 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: I felt this cloud expressing so much approval and appreciation 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: for me. And of course I've been raised to be 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: proper young lady. So I immediately was like, oh, are 74 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: you kid me? I got all that, I don't speak 75 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: multiple languages, I am a fault ruld hunger. Come on, 76 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: what are you talking about? And I immediately received the message, Oh, 77 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: you don't understand how this works. See, you're designed with 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: your skills, your abilities, your talents, your interests, your preferences, 79 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: as well as your hot buttons, your issues, your faults, 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: your foibles, your living beliefs. We put all of those 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 3: things together to create exactly what is needed right now. 82 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: You are perfect because of your imperfections. And I had 83 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: a serious to we are not in Kansas anymore moment. 84 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: It was like, whoa, something interesting is happening here, And 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: so I started asking questions and at the very end 86 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: of this conversation, I got the message, are you sure 87 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: you're done? I was like, Oh, no, we're happing through 88 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: our vacation. We're loving New Zealand. It's really awesome. I said, no, no, no, 89 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: you said that you were done thrashing in your business. 90 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: You felt like you were just going to kind of 91 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: give up and accept the status quo. Now, if you're 92 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: sure you're done, we can use that ectoplasm for something else. 93 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 3: Are you sure you're done? And I knew that I 94 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: was really close to something important, and if I chose 95 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: to say, I'd have to start all over again from 96 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: the very beginning, and it would be more difficult to 97 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: get back to where I already was. So I said, no, 98 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: I'm not done, and I heard, great, get back and 99 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: get busy. And I came out of the stroke with 100 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 3: absolutely no damage. 101 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: That is remarkable. That's a miracle all by itself. Now, 102 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: was this the moment of your spiritual awakening? 103 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: It sure was. It sure was, you know, because before that, 104 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: every once in a while I would receive a bit 105 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: of inspiration. But I didn't realize just how completely interwoven 106 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: our spiritual nature is into everything we do. And that 107 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 3: really flipped the switch for me. 108 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: Then nineteen years later you wrote five steps to Activate 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: your abundance. What took you so long? 110 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: Well man, try to figure out how to explain it 111 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: to people in a simple way and make it really fun. 112 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: That is so important. I can't stress this enough, you know, George. 113 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 3: I decided a few years ago, I'm not going to 114 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: quote work anymore, because every time I think of the 115 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: word work, it feels heavy, it feels confining, it feels 116 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: like I have to. It feels like I have to, 117 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: like I have to do it all by myself, all 118 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: on my own. And so I decided, instead of using 119 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: the word work, I'm going to use the word play. 120 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 3: So now I play with everything I do, and I 121 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: play hard, but I so much fun and I could 122 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: play with other people and I get too. It's not 123 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: I have to. I love too. It was really interesting. 124 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: I came across some research that was done in the 125 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: nineteen eighties with children, and they took two different groups 126 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: of kids. They were going to teach them the exact 127 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: same thing. And one group used the traditional classroom environment, 128 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 3: you know, all business. The other room was taught using 129 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: a play structure with some kind of interactive game. Well, 130 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: it took the kids in his classroom thirty times longer 131 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 3: to learn the same stuff. So when we're willing to 132 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: let go and have fun and be playful, that's when 133 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: we're much more receptive and more information comes through. I 134 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: experienced the divine as a pro restive joy, just over 135 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: the top happy, excited, delighted, silly, playful, and they're constantly 136 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: reminded me might not have fun. This life is designed 137 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: to be unfolding joy. 138 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: When I was a kiddy lane, I had a motto 139 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: work hard, play hard, and by that as a teenager, 140 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 2: I sold shoes in school, I played football, baseball, theatrics, 141 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 2: I was a thespian acting. I did it all. I 142 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: just never stopped, And to this day I have that 143 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: same motto, work hard, play hard. That's pretty similar to 144 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: what you did. 145 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, you can have a lot of fun doing 146 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: what most people think of as work. But when you're 147 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 3: loving what you do and you recognize the difference you 148 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: make for yourself and for others by sharing your skills 149 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 3: and talents, continually being willing to grow and learn, Oh 150 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 3: my gosh, you're just on fire, unstoppable, and that energy 151 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 3: is so compelling to other people. They want what you've got, 152 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 3: and so they're attracted to work with you. Yeah, by 153 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: all means, play your heart out. It makes a massive difference. 154 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: How did you come up with five steps to activate 155 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: your abundance? Why not four? Why not six? 156 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: It's because I was divinely guided through the whole process. 157 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: It's really interesting when I collaborate with the divine. I 158 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: ask questions and then I sit in silence and let 159 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: the message flow through, and I keep asking questions until 160 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: nothing else comes through. And so I was really asking, 161 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: how can we go from where we are now to 162 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: creating the life of our dreams? What does that look like? 163 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: And how do we get there from here? And that's 164 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: when those steps came through. 165 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: What does abundance mean to you? 166 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: It really starts as a an inside feeling. It's feeling 167 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: good about who you are and what you contribute in 168 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 3: the world. It's noticing the little things around you that 169 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: are just amazing. It's not just external success, it's that 170 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: internal state of well being, a deep sense of contentment. 171 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 3: You feel good about yourself, good about your life, good 172 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: about the present moment, and you recognize just how capable 173 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 3: and resourceful you are, so you're more open more approachable, 174 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: more engaging. I honestly feel that abundance is gratitude in action. 175 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 3: You are fully embracing right now. You're not distracted by 176 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: the past or freaked out about the future. You're living 177 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: right now and appreciating the richness of this moment. 178 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: Would you call friends part of your abundance? 179 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 3: Absolutely? 180 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: Absolutely tell me more about that part. 181 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 3: Every single relationship you have is designed to reflect and 182 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: amplify who you are. And sometimes it's hard for us 183 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 3: to see ourselves, and so we tend to look outside 184 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: at our friends to see who we really are. Friends 185 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 3: are there to push us, to inspire us, to empower us, 186 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: so they play a really vital role in our personal growth. 187 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: Good for you. Did it take you long to come 188 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: up with these concepts? 189 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: Well, it only took me, what nineteen years? Eighteen years 190 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 3: I was living it and trying to find how do 191 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: I articulate this because, honestly, in George, one of the 192 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 3: things that I realized is the power of the words 193 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: that we use. So I want to share a little 194 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: story with you because I think it is really important. 195 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: A few months ago, I was in my kitchen doing 196 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: dishes and I was just kind of amusing over. You know, 197 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: sometimes you working on a project and it comes together 198 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: really easily, it's just no big deal. It's a snap, 199 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 3: it's a breeze. And then other times you're working on 200 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: a project and it's a freaking slog. It doesn't matter 201 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 3: what you do, you hit problem, roadblock, challenge, issue. It's 202 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: so frustrating. And I was just wondering why does that happen? 203 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: And I immediately felt and heard a very loud, forceful 204 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: voice in my body that said, when you deny your power, 205 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 3: your power is denied to you. When you acknowledge your power, 206 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: your power is shown to you. You are more powerful 207 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: than you can imagine. I was like, whoa, dride off 208 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: my hands and go write it down. I'm like, denying 209 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: my power? What am I? How am I denying my 210 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 3: I don't want to do that anymore? What am I doing? 211 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: And I realized that often it's the words I use, 212 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: So I am choosing my words with more care. Now 213 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: I'm replacing the words want and try and need with 214 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 3: choose and decide and desire, And that really makes a difference. 215 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: Every word has energy attached to it. It has an 216 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 3: emotional energy in a sensation. So when you feel the 217 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: word want, you can feel how it's limiting. Right. It's 218 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: like if you feel lack in it, but when you 219 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 3: say choose you feel power in it. It feels expansive. 220 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: So yeah, words make a massive difference. 221 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: What makes people Elaine in your opinion. 222 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: Happy, Everyone has as the opportunity to feel blessed. One 223 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: of the messages that I received is you are a blessing, 224 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: and you are blessed. And because you are a blessing, 225 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 3: it's important to notice all the blessings around you. The 226 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: di mind is continually showering you with all kinds of 227 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 3: things that you could enjoy and be grateful for. And honestly, 228 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: gratitude is the gateway to abundance. Gratitude is the aport 229 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 3: of your abundance tree. In fact, energy, I'm sorry, money 230 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: is just the energy of gratitude. You write that check 231 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: for electricity because you really like it when the electricity 232 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: stays on. 233 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: You might not like the check, but you like it 234 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 2: when it's on. 235 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you sure like it when it's on. And so 236 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: when you think of writing that check as a way 237 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: of expressing gratitude, you know you create opportunities by using 238 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 3: your skills, your gifts your abilities to make it difference 239 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: for others and giving them the opportunity to show their 240 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: gratitude back to you. And one of the ways they 241 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: show gratitude is with money, so not the only way, 242 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 3: but it's one way. 243 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: Abundance. There's a definition there too, though, isn't there. 244 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely If you look up abundance in the dictionary, you 245 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: will see that the technical term is more than enough. 246 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 3: And I'm going to tell you, George, just about every 247 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: single person that I talk to, unfortunately these days, they 248 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 3: really don't feel like enough, let alone more than enough. 249 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: And so I think it's really important for us to 250 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 3: understand where that comes from and what our personal power is. 251 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 3: How we can open ourselves up to feel valuable and 252 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 3: appreciate who we are now. One of the things that 253 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: I love to do, and I did it today right 254 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: before our show. I hire attitude adjustment angels. It's awesome 255 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: and it really works. I love doing this with people 256 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: really skeptical, especially because it breaks them out when it 257 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: works so well. So there are gazillions of angels out there. 258 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: If they are bored to tears because they've got nothing 259 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 3: to do, and they can help us, they will help 260 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: us but we have to talk to them and ask 261 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 3: for their assistance. So what I like to do is 262 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: hire attitude adjustment angels, and I hire them for me first, 263 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 3: and then I hire them for everybody else that I'm 264 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: going to engage with, or interact with, or impact in 265 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,359 Speaker 3: any way. And so here's how I like to hire them, angels. 266 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 3: I love and appreciate you. Thank you so much for 267 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: all the blessings you send my way all the time. 268 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: I'm hiring attitude adjustment angels to help me focus on 269 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 3: all these blessings so that I'm aware of all the 270 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: abundance that is around me in every single moment. I 271 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: love how the things that normally bother me or drive 272 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: me nuts, the things that trigger me are suddenly either 273 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 3: hysterically funny so you know it doesn't really bother me, 274 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 3: or there's a minor I don't even notice it. All 275 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 3: I see are the blessings that surround me. Thank you 276 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: so much for guiding me to all these blessings. I 277 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: love you, I appreciate you. Thanks for everything you do. 278 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: Are they always there? Are they always there for you? 279 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: Always? Always? And in freaky ways too, like all the 280 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: lights line up and they're green and still getting stuck 281 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: in a lot of traffic lights. You know, it's the 282 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 3: awesome parking spot. It's the here. I'm working on something 283 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 3: and somebody casually mentions a book that has the exact 284 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: thing that I'm looking for. It shows up in all 285 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 3: kinds of ways. It's a way for you to open 286 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: yourself up to receive that divine guidance you're so anxious 287 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 3: to receive. 288 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: What is the one thing that you should never do 289 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: seeking abundance? 290 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: You know? I think one of the things people struggle 291 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: with the most is intensity. And what I mean by 292 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 3: that is we have an emotional intensity around the things 293 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 3: that we want. Look at it this way. You're madly 294 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 3: in love with your spouse and you happen to see 295 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: some strangers kissing, well, you might think, oh, that's so cute, 296 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: that's just churning. But if you happen to see the 297 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 3: spouse that you love at a door kissing somebody else, 298 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, there's a lot of emotional intensity 299 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 3: around that. You're not happy about it at all. And 300 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 3: what happens. This is the part where people struggle the 301 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,360 Speaker 3: most in trying to manifest what they want in their lives. 302 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 3: Whenever you want something like you really really want it, 303 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 3: yesterday would be perfect, you're actually creating a wave that 304 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 3: pushes it just beyond your ability to have what you desire. 305 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: So here's the way to tune down that intensity. Start 306 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 3: imagining that you already have whatever it is you want. 307 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 3: It could be a thing, it could be a relationship, 308 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 3: it could be an experience. Start imagining that you have 309 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,719 Speaker 3: it right now, and develop a level of familiarity with 310 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: it so it feels normal that this is a part 311 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: of your everyday life. You can role play, you can 312 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: dress up, you can have dinners where you're eating exotic foods. 313 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: If you like to travel, you can watch documentary. Surround 314 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: yourself in the experience so much that it's normal for you, 315 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 3: and when it starts to feel really normal, then you 316 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 3: don't have that emotional intensity anymore. Of course, you still 317 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 3: want it, but you can let that desire relax. 318 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast am every weeknight at 319 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: oneam Eastern and go to Coast to coastam dot com 320 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: for more
